THE GAME.

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 1915.

Como, leave the lure of the foot-

ball field.

With its f'mea lightly won,| And take your place in a

greater gabiO

Where worthier deeds are

done.

No game is this where thou-

mands watch

The play of a chosen fow; But rally all if you're men at

all,

There's room in the team for

you.

You may find your place in the

battle-front,

If you'd play the forward

gamo,

To carry the trench and mon

the gune

With dash and deadly sim. O, the field is wide, and the

foe is strong, And it's far from wing to

wing,
